RNA-directed DNA polymerase activity of reticuloendotheliosis virus: characterization of the endogenous and exogenous reactions.

Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) contains an endogenously instructed, RNA-directed DNA polymerase activity. Both the endogenous and exogenous DNA polymerase activities exhibited up to 10-fold greater activity at the optimum concentration of manganous ion (0.025 mM for exogenous; 0.25 mM for endogenous) than at any concentration of magnesium ion. Antiserum to the DNA polymerase of an REV group virus (spleen necrosis virus) inhibited both endogenous and exogenous DNA polymerase activity of REV, whereas antiserum to the Rous sarcoma virus (Rous-associated virus-0) [RSV(RAV-0)]DNA polymerase did not. The DNA product of the endogenous reaction is associated with the high-molecular-weight RNA of REV and anneals with REV RNA but not with RNA from Rous sarcoma virus.[1]
